At the mahjong table, many players only pay attention to how to quickly play cards, but ignore "Stuff behind you"This important link. The so-called "back-to-back" refers to the observation and judgment of the remaining cards on the card wall when listening to cards or about to play cards. Experts can often adjust strategies by sorting out information, thereby greatly increasing the probability of winning cards and reducing the risk of shooting. This article will focus on this theme and share practical skills.

1. What is "Mahjong is played after playing poker"?

“Mahjong is gone and the back is playing"It is not a literal meaning that you go to the cards and then touch the cards, but it means that in the later stage of the game, when you have already listened to the cards or are close to listening to the cards, you can speculate which cards are more likely to be touched or played by observing the card river, opponent's movements and the remaining situation of the card wall. This ability to figure out is one of the core indicators that distinguish ordinary players from experts.

For example, if you listen to side cards or inset cards, but multiple cards have appeared in the card river, the actual probability of winning cards will decrease. At this time, should I change it? Or should we give up offense and switch to defense? These decisions all rely on accurate judgment of the "next step".

2. The core of ranking: analysis of the river of cards and remaining cards

To master the skills of arranging, you must first learn to read the card river. The river of cards is public information, and each card played reflects the opponent's hand trend and the direction of the game.

  • Observe the number of key cards appearing: If the cards you need have more than 3 cards in the card river, then there is only 1 card left in the remaining card wall. It is extremely difficult to play.
  • Pay attention to the opponent's card changing movements: The opponent draws a card from his hand and plays it hesitantly. This often means that he is adjusting the card type, which may be related to the card you need.
  • Remaining quantity of combined card wall: In the later stage of the game, the less card wall remains, the higher the accuracy of the game. At this time, the probability of remaining cards can be calculated based on the cards that have appeared.

3. The strategy after listening to the cards

When you have already listened to the cards, the focus of playing is to determine whether you should continue to wait or change to another card type.

1. Determine the number of cards

Calculate the actual number of cards left for your play. For example, if you listen to thirty to sixty thousand, but two sheets of thirty thousand have been produced, and one sheet of sixty thousand has been produced, then the actual number of sheets remaining is: two sheets of thirty thousand have been produced, and three sheets of sixty thousand have been produced, for a total of 5 sheets. If there are 40 cards left in the wall, the probability of touching Hu cards is about 12.5%. If the probability is too low, consider changing the listening.

2. Analyze opponents 'defensive tendencies

If your opponent is obviously defending your card type (for example, no one has played the cards you need and the opponent plays safety cards), your card difficulty will increase further. At this point, the focus of playing should turn to finding cards that the opponent may play, or changing the card type through eating and touching.

3. Use "back-tracking" to create traps

Experts sometimes deliberately play a certain card to induce opponents to think that you don't need it, so as to play the card you really need later. This kind of psychological game requires combining ranking information to judge the opponent's card type and habits.

4. Tactics in defense: Avoid firing shots

Touch is not only used for offense, defense is equally important. When you have not listened to cards or have no hope of listening to cards, the goal of the game is to avoid shooting shots.

  • Guess the opponent's playing range: Narrow down the types of cards your opponent may listen to based on the cards played and the situation they encounter. For example, if the opponent plays tens of thousands of pieces continuously, it is likely that he is making strips or tubes. At this time, it is relatively safe to play tens of thousands of pieces.
  • Pay attention to the emergence of danger signs: If a card has not appeared in the card river and the opponent shows signs of playing a uniform or a big card, then this card is likely to be a dangerous card and should be held as much as possible.
  • Use the mapping information to select safety cards: In the later stage of the game, there are often only a few safety cards left. Determine which cards are absolutely safe and which cards are relatively safe by arranging, so as to make the best choice.

5. Common misunderstandings and improvement suggestions

Many players easily fall into the following misunderstandings when playing games:

  1. Look only at your own cards, not the river of cards: The calculation must be combined with overall information, otherwise the judgment will be seriously deviated.
  2. Excessive belief in probability: Probability is only a reference. The opponent's behavior and psychological factors in the actual game are equally important.
  3. hesitant: Planning requires quick decision-making, and hesitation will miss the best opportunity to play.

Suggestions for improvement: Carry out more actual combat reviews, record the judgment and actual results of each survey, and gradually improve the accuracy. At the same time, you can watch the game between masters and learn their ideas.

6. Summary

“Mahjong is gone and the back is playing"is a comprehensive skill that requires players to have keen observation, rapid calculation ability and calm psychological quality. Through continuous practice and summary, you can make smarter decisions later in the game, thereby improving your overall winning percentage. Remember that Mahjong is not only a game of luck, but also a contest of information and strategy.
